The Web server where you show the statistics can be on any machine. As long as that server can talk to the MySQL database to get the data.
The way I have things setup, I have one Server in a New York Data center that runs:
CloD server
MySQL Database
IL2ClodCommander
A web server that is supported by another of my admins is located in California somewhere. It talks to the MySQL server over the net.
You can see our stats at this link:

If you need the Apache server it can be downloaded from :
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache22 Then you will need the PHP module found on this site
http://windows.php.net/ Setting everything up is a bit out of my expertise, but as I recall it was not too difficult. They both come with windows installers if you are installing on a Windows platform. There are also numerious places to get the Unix downloads if you use Unix.
I have some more updates on the software I will post later this week. Once you have the basics installed, updating is pretty easy.
